Announcement of Journal Publications
Mar. 18, 2026:
Our paper on testing woody chicken breast has been published in Applied Food Research. The method was inspired by the Semmes–Weinstein 10 g monofilament test and is used to distinguish woody chicken breast from normal samples. Congratulations to Ziyuan Zhao and Charles Villegas!🎉The slogan is “No woody, taste juicy!”
Nov. 21, 2025:
We’re thrilled to announce the second journal publication by students from our lab has been published in the Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering! 🎉
This work is a collaboration with Dr. Ming-Chyuan Lu from National Chung Hsing University and Dr. Jyhwen Wang from Texas A&M University.
In this work, we introduce two in-line monitoring methods for detecting the balling phenomenon in Directed Energy Deposition (DED) processes: the contact angle (CA) method with weighted linear regression and the weighted mask (WM) method with Hadamard product developed by nonlinear regression. Both approaches are well-suited for real-time, in-line feedback control in DED additive manufacturing.
Congratulations to Yangyuan! 👏
And with this milestone, we’re proud to debut our new lab slogan: “We check balling!” 🪩
Sept. 1, 2025:
We're thrilled to share that Yangyuan Li and Zhendi Zhang have published a paper in Measurement - making the first journal publication by students in our lab! 🎉
Our research presents a self-calibrated single-camera system for distinguishing in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations in rotating structures. This technique offers exciting potential for in-line, non-destructive prescreening of components like wind turbine blades.
Huge congratulations to Yangyuan and Zhendi on this important milestone. Fantastic work! 👏
Now, we have a new lab slogan: "Yangyuan and Zhendi like spinning in circles!" 🌀
